OT: For those looking for a track car, Here's a suggestion

Here I was at my desk surfing the web for a Xterra when I stumbled upon Nissan's website and found out that they already have the 350Z on the site.

What caught my attention is that they have a *Track* version of it with Brembo Brakes, nice lightweight 18' wheels with WR tires etc..etc...all for 34k --> pretty good value IMHO

Hehe...hmm, I was thinking abt getting another SUV but this sure is tempting..let's see SUV or Track Car?

Cheers,
Sugi

Boy, that sounds great. Can't wait to se some road tests.

I wonder how it would compare with my 300ZXTT? Only have 34000 miles on it. But you know, that "something new" bug is hard to resist.

And Sugi, TRACK CAR! TRACK CAR! TRACK CAR! TRACK CAR!

Did I say TRACK CAR?

Kind of reminds me of the Lexus SC. Would imagine it performs better though.

Bart: LOL, yup..it sure is tempting tho 350Z can't get me to Tahoe during the winter unless I change its *shoes* and put on ..gasp...ski racks!!! But I'll be going in for a test-drive as soon as it comes out.

Mark: Yup, reminds me of the SC too except it is almost 20+k cheaper and better performing

hmm..I wonder whether this mark the return of Japan SuperCars...tho sadly the Camaro and FireBird are being phased out...after 35 great years.

i'll have to check their site out. if and when the rx-8 comes, i'll probably put an order in (provided i'm in the financial status to do so). someone on here has a signature something like "350Z on deposit", but can't remember who. i, myself, am very interested in its performance.
